limpid basin
Same defiance
ionic lava

rotund sand
I'm not much of a gamer normally, just getting into it last year or so
echo sky
@surreal sundial just in a csgame for like 15 min then im game
feel free to run another
ionic lava
yeaa those r good matchs cuz most people dont come back ive had whole maps to myself before
surreal sundial
@echo sky no promblem
ionic lava
which channel
rotund sand
what are you guys going to run as team newbie?
ionic lava
wanna do customs i have almost all the keys for it
sacred acorn
warm ether
Yo, how's it going guys! Just warming up to the game with some offline mode and working out things one step at a time, any advice you have picked up so far to help the process would be awesome, thanks
sacred acorn
does anyone else love doing Rat runs?
limpid basin
Never ran customs but I’m down
sacred acorn
on reserves ofc
tropic flint
should i sell vpo scope mounts and rotor suppresors?
ionic lava
yea you can join
ionic lava
sell everything you wont use in the next 3-4 raids
always sell to skier first then mechanic to get the most money
tropic path
lol i have 10 headsets and 10 m2's ready to rat it up
sacred acorn
@warm ether i reccomend learning reserves, its (argueably) the best map in game
orchid sparrow
i keep losing connection
what the fuck
when i join back it takes .1 seconds to disconnect me again
warm ether
I'm playing customs at the moment because I heard it was the first map?
tropic path
@warm ether for quest maybe
frigid fog
@sacred acorn interchange best.
tropic path
lol no its not
frigid fog
Like 1-4 gpu per run.
sacred acorn
idk i run pistoling runs and make like 2mil every hour
frigid fog
At least 1
tropic path
you get killed before you make it to the shops
frigid fog
If ur bad
sacred acorn
^ from like an hour of farming
frigid fog
That’s only 2 gpu
sacred acorn
but everyone has their own thing
i prefer reserves , survival prefers ic
just choose whatever fits u best 🙂
rotund sand
aren't they top 2 anyway, and maybe shoreline after
frigid fog
Yes I prefer the best map :)
sacred acorn
i just find interchange to like.. complex?
all the stores and stuff are rlly confusing ;-;
frigid fog
Labs is OK without cheaters
sacred acorn
oh lmao i ran into a speed hacker yesterday
frigid fog
Just run techlight and the other tech stores.
frigid fog
If u learn how to get there from every spawn (and if u have better endurance you are golden) you can nab at least 1 gpu, usually 2, and Tetris / motor / other loot
rotund sand
I think Pestily had some Interchange speed running video iirc
bold kernel
👀
rotund sand
oh you got him gg
warm raft
No room in beginners channels.
bold kernel
Nah got it off someone who got him xD
warm raft
can a few more be made?
rotund sand
oh lol
echo sky
@surreal sundial you in ?
candid lichen
anyone down to help out a newbie?
warm ether
How do you rotate items in your inventory?
stone moss
while you have a hold of the item, hit R
stone moss
np
rotund sand
quick examine also doesn't have a binding from what I see
stone moss
middle mouse
candid lichen
Im on usa
candid lichen
ok sounds good
high crescent
Best beginner tip is install nvidea freestyle so u can see n the dark and u don’t get that annoying light glare when u look at light
split vapor
That’s like hacking but without reshade
sacred acorn
are the servers down?
warm ether
I have the dorms vex extract but I can't seem to use it, any ideas?
rotund sand
is the car there?
bold kernel
@warm ether i believe you need 7000 rubles to use the car.
warm ether
Alright, I just completed my first extract and successful raid!
rotund sand
congrats!
warm ether
I hobbled to smugglers boat on a blacked leg haha
rotund sand
oh nice bit of luck that one was open
warm ether
Definitely, otherwise I had to go to crossroads 🙃
granite rivet
have you gotten better over the past month @rotund sand
rotund sand
uh, this is a tricky question to answer
granite rivet
lol
rotund sand
I guess I could say "yeah, a bit", but from another perspective, its just as bad, so
granite rivet
i still die just as much on my end lol
rotund sand
I'm a tiny bit less scared of dying, I suppose
but its still not at a playable level
granite rivet
although i fluxuate between 35-40% survival rate no
you just need to die alot more
rotund sand
developed a new sort of trauma now
died twice thinking "there was a guy around but he can't be here anymore" and found them exactly where I thought they wouldn't be
so I end up holing myself in random rooms and trying to guess if someone is camping that place
I killed a player scav last week that way, because someone finally checked my room lol
granite rivet
yeah you cant predict everyones actions perfectly in such a low information game
its always down to sound cues and map knowledge
tropic flint
does matching always take so long?
granite rivet
atm servers took a shit again i think
rotund sand
so now I'm thinking like
"I heard someone walk close and then no sound again, maybe that guy is right around the corner"
granite rivet
yeah im still not at the point where i can accurately pinpoint sound distance yet
and since they've said they're adding steam audio it could fuck up everything so i havent really tried too hard tbh
the headset you use as well makes alot of difference too
rotund sand
I think its going to change directional perception
I guess I'm happy with my headset
I'm not using an in-game one though
my heart is not ready, admittedly
spark marsh
Use the in game one. For me i find i can pinpoint exactly where someone is on map with it
spark marsh
I feel completely exposed without comtact on
warm ether
Comtacs make me so aware that I'm making noise 😂 I feel like I have to walk everywhere
granite rivet
i still flinch like a bitch lol
rotund sand
the amplified sound can screw me up bad at the moment
like I'm flinching without amplified sound
granite rivet
what ive discovered in the last week is when you get in a fire fight if you drop prone
people think they killed you
spark marsh
The flinching is because you feel like your being shot at, but the comtacts imo i find helps with distance so i can tell what is me and what is not
granite rivet
just stop shooting and moving and you can get a cheeky kill
rotund sand
at some cases, yeah, its about me getting shot, but at some others, no
like I definitely know its not in my direction whatsoever, yet I still react
spark marsh
If I cant confirm the body is confirmed dead, i always double tap
fickle kayak
the problem with that is that I know for me, I always shoot bodies again after I drop them - no reason not too as I've already given my position away
granite rivet
it works for a good 80% of the time
yesterday i took down a 3 man in labs after my team was wiped doing it
jovial fractal
Does anyone know the definitive difference between ANA Tactical M1 and M2 armoured rigs?
spark marsh
See ill try to get an angle to see the body first. But if i still cant confirm then a double tap
jovial fractal
Statistically they are the same, with a slight different in inventory space and description, but the discrepancy isnt reflected in the stats
steel spire
Can anybody tell me a way to level up skier relatively quickly?
Whether it's buying a certain item on flea market, even if it's losing a little bit?
fickle kayak
all you can do is do the tasks
fickle kayak
ahhhh - I just buy stuff from the vendor and sell it back to them as the selling counts to it as well
granite rivet
you lose 50% usually on a sell back
steel spire
That's way too big of a loss.
flat cipher
most of the things will resell on flea for the same price
just, buy something popular
granite rivet
selling to the flea then rebuying recoups alot more
steel spire
Kelvin, I know that - but is there a certain item that doesn't lose too much?
granite rivet
depends on the markets for the day
flat cipher
for example, buying pk06 from jaeger in like
bunches of 50
then listing them all on the flea
theyre gone in less than a minute
aand then you just rinse repeat
steel spire
Yeah but I need to sell to skier
steel spire
Yeah
granite rivet
you can also buy euros from skier right?
flat cipher
mhm
worn wave
Are there any differences between each headset?
granite rivet
id do that and then buy things worth euros and sell it back
flat cipher
comtacs are good middle ground, less background noise
tac sports are a little too quiet for my liking
and gssh are just 200% volume with the treble turned up to 900%
sounds like youre running in a barrel
gloomy hearth
the best headphones are everything but the gssh
sacred acorn
do you move faster after leveling up your like endurance and stuff?
flat cipher
but not the gssh
sacred acorn
im watching a (year old video mind you) and this dude is moving at like mock speeds
okay
granite rivet
tactical sports fuck up my 10-m distances
flat cipher
I think sordins have the furthest hearing range but the bass on them is a bit much
spark marsh
Id try out each one and see how you feel
granite rivet
everything sounds way too close
flat cipher
its completely personal preference
spark marsh
Comtacts you can hear people, but sordens u can "feel" people coming. Like its more bassy if that makes any sense
I like the comtacts personally
Even tho it kinda makes the game sound like toast
rotund sand
I almost have 1k, pretty good amount for myself
spark marsh
worn wave
ty for the tips boys
tropic flint
where and for how much should i sell physical bitcoins?
tropic flint
yea i thought so
tropic flint
1,3 mil at therapist right?
tropic flint
actually no ignore me im mathematically retarded
flat cipher
theyre slightly less on flea because of the listing fee
shit like jewelry, gp coins, bitcoins
usually better off selling to therapist
tropic flint
aight thanks
flat cipher
crafting mats, keep or flea em
spice crane
im' getting started on punisher part 4, wondering if there's a good loadout for the pmc part on shoreline. should i basically just be running to resort every time, use midrange rifles sorta thing?
granite rivet
grab a smg and hide in a normally looted room
summer nexus
Hi if i upgrade my eft to a better version do i have to reset my char or can i hold my hole stuff and level
summer nexus
so wont loose shit?
granite rivet
nope
gloomy hearth
last night i lost a 2 mill setup in a raid and only thing i got back from insurance was a balaklava
granite rivet
did you use prapor or therapist?
gloomy hearth
prapor
granite rivet
because prapor takes longer to get your shit back
gloomy hearth
8o(
granite rivet
its like 1.5 days
gloomy hearth
o.0
rotund sand
sounds plausible that nothing from a 2m setup comes back though
granite rivet
thermals
formal nova
How much are thermals gah damn
fickle kayak
3.4 million right now - for the goggles
the two scopes are usually 100 & 200k respectively at this time
formal nova
What the hell lol
rotund sand
goggles sound extremely inefficient economically, so I guess only super rich boys run them?
fickle kayak
yeah, scopes are more than enough
rotund sand
I might not even have seen goggles on streams I have caught xD
fickle kayak
you'd know if you did haha
rotund sand
true true
fickle kayak
used thermals in game yet?
rotund sand
ah, nope, not that advanced p:
fickle kayak
they are fun but they make you lazy lol
rotund sand
I happened to mention to my friend that I might try some night vision, something like a vulcan
and he thought I was crazy
lol
fickle kayak
can do a quick customs raid @ night if you want - I can throw you a thermal to try out
rotund sand
he also thought I was crazy for trying to take an SV-98 into woods, though, so there is that
oh
that'd be like throwing your thermal on the ground, though
fickle kayak
I use them about 50% of my matches now
tropic flint
sks or adar which is worth more?
fickle kayak
if you want to try them or give your nightvision a go let me know - I'll do a quick night raid
merry notch
anyone wanan do some pmc runs im lvl 10 but have ok game knowledge
rotund sand
the scary part about doing this is getting killed and have someone go like "wow look at this idiot using 30k nightscope to do effing pocket watch quest" xD
fickle kayak
hahaha - I hate doing the quests so I when I did mine I was with group of friends and we were all wearing 500K+ of equipment each just to get the thing
its kinda funny actually
bold kernel
why doesn't my water collector upgrade already?
fickle kayak
: O try relogging?
rotund sand
I have all these customs quests piled up, so I decided to give it a go today, but couldn't get anywhere close to any objective p:
bold kernel
hmm
violet bear
how can you lose flea market reputation?
rotund sand
remove your offers before they are sold
fickle kayak
yeah customs is not the easiest at the start when you are figuring it out
lots of kill zones : (
rotund sand
I was just trying to pass through that one metal container towards the truck area slowly
but someone was laying prone inside
rotund sand
ah I'm wearing the basic ssh helmet and generally try to grab a usable looking uley as armor
grim loom
Hi.. question?
rotund sand
VPO-136 as weapon, generally a PK-06 to improve it a bit, and a berkut bag
fickle kayak
maybe answer??
grim loom
That's cool...
fickle kayak
whats your preferred equipment so far?
rotund sand
I'm still using PS ammo though, so overall, very cheap setup
grim loom
I found a lab's keycard... I'm not ready for all that... my question when selling it why do people sell it for 6mil when u can get it for 150k?
fickle kayak
not really sure there, they might be trading money to a buddy or it could be a mistake
rotund sand
my lifetime goal is to be able to use Valday in raid, so I guess it counts as preferred equipment p:
fickle kayak
the scope??
rotund sand
yeah
grim loom
Oh okay... I see it a lot. Thought there was something to it.. thank you @fickle kayak
fickle kayak
Ahhh, thats within reach - can probably find some of them laying around reserve
balmy vault
me and my friend just got the game looking for someone to teach us
fickle kayak
lmao, yeah - you just get to stare at it all day
rotund sand
or sometimes do offline runs with them
fickle kayak
@balmy vault I'm going to do a run quick soon if you want to tag along
offline is great - I like it a lot
light raven
is there a scope for the regular sks , not the hunting rifle one?
fickle kayak
I'm in customs group 9
rotund sand
yeah, offline is really helpful for my terrible navigation
fickle kayak
should be a mount for the SKS to put a sniper optic on it
light raven
where can i look?
fickle kayak
@rotund sand do you want to join customs
tough bluff
median smelt
I keep losing my server connection. Is that an issue on my end or is it just a bad server?

@fickle kayak use the OP SKS
frank wigeon
i just unloaded some magazine in my magazine case, and i cant find where the ammo went?
wide shale
Check your characters pockets
high crescent
Might get banned again for this but
wide shale
Wrong Channel
wide shale
@frank wigeon was it in your pockets?
frank wigeon
no, but it randomly ended up going back in the mags after a couple mins
wide shale
Oh you know what I think that happens to me before. I think it has something to do with the fact that the ammo tries to leave the magazines and go into the case but magazine cases can't hold ammo or something like that
bold kernel
My friend bought edge of darkness edition but didnt get his Gamma Container, has anyone else had this problem and is there some way to get it? (he sent mail to devs ofc)
wide shale
@bold kernel I've seen this issue pop up on the subreddit a lot might find an answer there if no one replies here
bold kernel
mmkay
frank wigeon
sometimes you have to reset your account for it to show up
im getting server connection lost and idc about my gear, is there a way to just end the raid?

ive just found a violet key kard in a raid, what should i do? sell it or keep it, and if i sell it what should i do with the money
keep in mind that im lvl 18

hey, is it worth buying more than 1 lucky scav box?

Is it possible to remove cracks in faceshield?
jolly holly
yes it is
drifting tangle
How do you do it?
jolly holly
N
oh remove the cracks
you have to repair it off-raid
just double click on it. should give option to repair homie
wide shale
@drifting tangle after you repair go into offline first. There is a glich where the crack still apear the raid after you repair
drifting tangle
ok thank you, appreciate it
wide shale
@tranquil wave which quest?
@frank wigeon what region are you? Seems to depends a lot on that. I'm East coast USA and I almost never have issues even on the weekend
frank wigeon
west coast but i have all US servers selected and some western europe

@tranquil wave oh gosh that one. I haven't done it. I never play woods and everyone I try to do it I get gunned down before I can make it out with the note

full crag
pressing G doesn't make the grenade explode, how come
i have to hotkey it, hold it and throw to make it explode? or am i doing something wrong
slim fern
@full crag what are you talking about. Grenades have to be in pocket/rig in order to be thrown when you press g
and you cant cook nades in this game
delicate siren
Can i level up strength by being overweight and walking backwards also?
slim fern
the fuse timer is after you throw them, and are different for each nade. Inspect each
full crag
well, we just spawned, and my friend gave me a bandage, i accidentally pressed G and it threw my grenade to the floor, we ran, nothing exploded
slim fern
no flashbang?
full crag
it was an F1
do we have some sort of spawn protection or something?
it was right at the moment we spawn*
acoustic timber
candid saffron
can someone help me get the bronze pocket watch
spark hawk
Is the akm vepr worth putting money into
celest condor
@full crag No spawn protection. If you were a PMC you should spawn far enough away to not see another PMC. Spawns are not perfect though and people do have a delay spawning at times.
celest condor
@spark hawk I spend ludicrous amounts on VEPR KM's Is it worth it, not really. It is worth putting a little money into it though. It is a solid gun.
@spark hawk This is what I suggest. Any more is just for fun, imo.
obsidian orchid
What scope doesnt obscure the vision if youre using a backup mount?
Most scopes have this knob on the right side that obscures the side scope.
celest condor
Yes the hate for SKS her and sherpa hub is legendary
obsidian orchid
know what i mean?
celest condor
@obsidian orchid I get around that by using the aimpoint mount, spacer, and either micro T1 or reomeo sight
obsidian orchid
@celest condor thx ill check them out
celest condor
one sec I will show you my view
hard ocean
Is there a cheating problem in labs atm? Should I just offline learn it before even attempting it
celest condor
@obsidian orchid
obsidian orchid
Thats really good @celest condor, what is the spacer called? i think thats what blocking my view, its not spaced out enough.
celest condor
parts needed for it
celest condor
aimpoint micro spacer high
@obsidian orchid I had the same problem you are having. I used a PSO and MPR + PK-06 for a long time. When I wanted to use a TAC 30 with the MPR the PK-06 was buried deep in the corner and I did not have a clear view to the sides.
Spacer fixed that for me.

Can anyone help me with Delivery from the Past? Gotta go to customs then factory

@pallid hamlet still need help?

Best ammo for SV-98 and also MPX?

7n1

There is, but there's no reason to use it
split vapor
basically snb and new ammo are trash

SNB only usable if not actually sniping
split vapor
7n1 basically 1 taps lvl4 and it can lvl5

Each time that I get on EFT, I notice my scav timer needs to count down. Is this a new thing where if you sign out that the scav timer resets?
edgy hatch
which mount do i need for the thermal scope ?

I notice the same thing rapanui

@vernal halo I believe this happens when they release a new patch

someone just explained it to me. Thanks for tagging me and telling me though. It makes sense

can anyone help me with the introduction quest
ember prism
@tardy hazel what do you need
just find the plane go a little to the left of the nose, youll find camp, theres some woodstair in the ground below a snipersite there is the message
take it and extract for it to be done
cursive shoal
every now and then ya gotta thank a scav for showing up, i was dehydrated trying to complete a quest on shoreline, scav shows up, pop him, he had water and kept me alive to extract because i had no heals lol
trail olive
its only thankful if you kill them lol
cursive shoal
lol, i was nervous as can be when i heard him yelling, was at half hp because of dehydration when he showed up
full crag
i dont know what happened but this is my 3rd time putting money into my wallet
and when spawning into the raid
it disappears
frank wigeon
I read somewhere if you dont have money outside of money cases or wallets in your stash, it will take it out of the wallet in your inventory sometimes
burnt jay
I just lost like 3 insured items because of "bad owner param" ???
frank wigeon
i need to go to dorms to do quests, im going solo. AK is gonna be better than a mosin right?
trail olive
i say it depends how good of a shot you are
frank wigeon
is it even worth going there without class 4 armor? or is like 6B2 or 6B23-1 okay?
ive never been to dorms yet
copper geyser
I have a propital with a gold checkmark but I don't have any quest that needs it

it is for a quest, future quest then?

Actually nevermind, they all look gold for some reason
Every found in raid icon is gold when I inspect the item

bandages
azure lily
Thats all?
split vapor
yeah
azure lily
sell it to flea market or therapist?
split vapor
ther
azure lily
because yea, it seems like a waste of space to me too
split vapor
no one would buy em on flea
azure lily
same with bandages?
split vapor
yeah
azure lily
thank you
I have a crap ton of barter items too. Is there a chart/guide that says what to keep and what to scrap?
split vapor
uhhh yes but no well kinda(question mark)(dot dot dot)
Wiki shows what any item can be used for
tbh dont bother hording random shit
azure lily
My issue is I have almost two full junk boxes.
I should probably be selling some of it.

oh mein gott

I mean obviously I am gonna keep stuff like paracord but other than that I am clueless.

timid carbon
Can anyone suggest to me a decent budget gearset that I can run with while I try to not suck at the game
timber dock
@timid carbon You could take some inspiration from this, possibly.
timid carbon
Damn man thanks that's a lot of info
So the VSS is a decent gun for budget ish?
I like the AS VAL but it's a little bit expensive
formal nova
Wtf just happened to the discord server
timber dock
@timid carbon Yeah, it's a great gun and not too expensive.
split vapor
discord is having problems
timber dock
I probably wouldn't run it during your initial "learning" phase, though.
split vapor
vss lit tho
formal nova
smh i layin bed and get a funny feeling in my pants from looking at peoples loot runs so it better start working
split vapor
main dif from val and vss is that vss is more accurate but less modable
but both already have no recoil
timid carbon
Hm ok
autumn yoke
if a 5 man goes into factory is it possible for them to get an empty server for themselves?
timid carbon
Factory is 6 I think so if they killed the one other person
But there are player scavs and such

typically 6th person is a hatchy

Beeline for power station and bus station?
ancient falcon
i found only 2 last game
misty nimbus
try and engage from range with single shot
ancient falcon
gas station, hosp was empty
misty nimbus
best rout i find is power planf gas station and the radio tower
misty nimbus
also some near the 2 cottages outside of town by the farm fields
timber dock
Usually you can find a couple by the villas, but those usually get picked off fairly quick.
misty nimbus
i did my 10 kills with silenced m4 in one run lastnight
misty nimbus
that one is later for peacemaker
ancient falcon
oh shit forgot silencer
would've been a lot better
so people don't come towards me
timber dock
You better buy him tushonka first.
ancient falcon
pbs-1 or hexagon akm silencer?
ancient falcon
how much ammo do you usually carry for something like this?
I've got a 75 round mag and 4 30 rounds with bp
misty nimbus
2 clips 30 rounds, and maybe a stack of 60 spare incase things get hairy
throw on an elcan 1x4 silenced and you can play stealthy and pick them off single shots
ancient falcon
day time?
misty nimbus
day or night doesnt matter much, night with nv works fine less of a chance of running into players
i prefer day myself though
stone surge
@ancient falcon ammo for what loadout?
ancient falcon
how do you zoom in? only way I know is ctrl + rmb
misty nimbus
silenced akm mission on shoreline
ancient falcon
but you have to unscope for that
timber dock
Rebind, or toggle ADS.
misty nimbus
the change zoom was what i meant
misty nimbus
m4 is best i think
ancient falcon
I'm oce so idk if you we can q
misty nimbus
hmm yeah i am na probably not
if you have a second monitor throw up the shoreline map it will help while you learn the map
gas station always spawns a few scavs 2 to 4 on average, power plant has 2 to 4, sniper on the roof of the building take him from range first
ancient falcon
I do but its not comfortable
the second monitor stand gets in my mouse space
but works so nvm lol
do different headphones make a difference?
misty nimbus
late game i have noticed 2 to 4 scavs spawning on the tower as well,
ancient falcon
e.g. comtacs vs that 10k one
misty nimbus
all the headphones have different sound mixes
mostly a prefrence to be honest. i like the mordins
the uber cheap one with the double headband is only one i wouldent run
the active headset i avoid, it just makes everything louder including yourself so doesnt help much i find
stone surge
SSH - Ear rape headphone (generally regarded as worst)
Tact sport - Good sounding headphone, not accurate sound distance localization (ppl far away from u sound as if they walk next to you)
Sordins - Very bassy headphone but imo overall best (takes a while to get used to)
Comtacts - Weird sounding (I hate them) but i'd say they're 2nd best after sordins. Some people like them
tl;dr: Try sordins and comtacts, see which u like
misty nimbus
^^ i second this
also comtac 2 and sordins fit under some of the ear covered helmets where the tac sports do not
stone surge
yup everyone has it
the game suffers from occasional stutters and a better rig won't help that
it's a optimization thing on their end unfortunately 😦
stone surge
ye but it's the servers/game
so even ppl with a 10k PC will have it
although perhaps less severe(?)

nope, some helmets block active-hearing headsets
example; the Kiver or the Altyn won't let you wear a headset.

No, I meant he seem to imply some helmets allow headsets, but not all headsets will work for certain ones

If a Headset fits, all (normal) headsets should fit

Hey, silly question but what's the most efficient way to level peacekeeper?
I assume buy and then sell back, but what item has the least loss?
Or at least what has a reasonable ratio, if there is one
tame karma
Convert loot to dollars? That's my question, what item has good returns because some of them sell for %50 of their value, but others are closer to %60, %65

Hideout does get wiped
worthy cobalt
if I insure something and drop it in the raid where someone cant get to it and then I still extract will those items be picked up by insurance or not?
split vapor
You’ll get it back
Insurance does not come back with manual server leaving and MIA and Labs
worthy cobalt
is it always 24 hours for it to come back?
split vapor
For prapor yeah tbh it feels a little shorter and ther is like 12h
silver hornet
If you have the Hideout upgrades it's 20-29 hours for Prapor
languid flare
24-36h for Prapor (20-29 with Intelligence 2) - kept for 3 days
12-24h for Therapist (10-20h w Int2) - kept for 2 weeks (afaik, never used)

Lf someone to help me sort my inventory started playing 2 days ago
@lime basin you know you can press R while dragging an item to rotate it?
Also store bags inside other bags.
If youre saving rigs make use of that space by storing items in there.
lime basin
@obsidian orchid yeah i know that, its more i would like to get into a call with someone and they can check out what to keep and such since i have a huge mountain of crap and only a standard stash xD
obsidian orchid
@lime basin also, try to get to lvl 5 as soon as possible, that means you can check prices of items by right clicking and "search by item". So you can start selling off the junk you collected up until that point.
Just gotta Tetris the shit out of that stash.
tribal cove
Can I fit comtacts with exfil ear covers?
lime basin
@obsidian orchid thats the point im at, but i dont know what to sell or keep for the future, found this key on my first day that i still have in my stash, its worth like 150k
obsidian orchid
Good, just try to level, youre gonna die a lot since the first quests is on customs, the biggest shitfest in the game. That way youre going to free up a lot of inventoryspace by just bringing gear and dying 😛
Sometimes im like "yeah i need to do a PMC run so i die and lose some gear"
lime basin
@obsidian orchid well i just completed the Bronze watch, and the one for terapist so my quests are moving away from customs xD
obsidian orchid
Also, if youre having trouble fitting long weapons, try dismantling them, like removing the stock temporarily to get a better fit.
Oh you sweet summer child.
bold breach
biggest shitfest in the game? You spelled Factory wrong.
obsidian orchid
you gonna be stuck on customs for much much longer.

Ah

Customs quests are the absolute worse, ive been trying to do that damn zibbo lighter quest 3 times now. Always die when trying to deliver the fucking lighter to the trailerpark.

why did I remember ushanka and cowboy hats as "found in raid" quest items all this time? rip my stash space
ionic lava
hi @rotund sand hows the raids today
rotund sand
hi, haven't even started yet xD
still kinda thinking about the idiotic mistake I made in when I played together with few others
ionic lava
if there has a crown it means that they have the EOD version and if there name is on your friends list they r on if thier nam isnt there they are online
what did you do kill a teammate
rotund sand
nah
we killed a couple of guys and were getting shot from behind and couldn't spot the guy so we were running for the hills
so I see this car that I can like take cover behind and run to that, but then I notice a scav
and stand there and try to kill him
while getting killed by the PMC from who knows where behind
ionic lava
it happens you either had to shoot the scav or shoot the pmc so either way you had to engage one
rotund sand
could just push the scav a bit and be safe from behind
ionic lava
true
rotund sand
no way that scav would kill me super fast anyway
ionic lava
idk i have been one tapped by scavs even when i am kitted
rotund sand
well, could still happen, but less likely and I could probably kill him faster anyway
would be better if I didn't make the worst move possible xD
ionic lava
you made the move you felt was best at the time an thats all you can do
rotund sand
I was thinking like "I'll just super rapidly kill this guy and get to cover fast" but then I kinda froze and didn't even fire
ionic lava
i have a problem with hesitating on my 1st shot cuz i always try for the 1 tap so i usually always die
rotund sand
yeah thats basically what happened here
should have just sprayed him and let him flop honestly, had a somewhat modded AK I looted with BT ammo, would still kill a no armor scav in no time
actually, watching the highlight, I guess I was too sleepy to recall correctly, I did fire indeed, but missed my shots and was already getting owned by PMC. also had no stamina to push the scav, alright that's bad.

reload the market (f5) and try to buy faster

@cursive shoal ah right, yeah sadly aiming skills dont concert over to pc
Just find as low a possible sensitivity that works for you as possible, if you want i can link you some aim inprovement sites that i used when i was playing competitive siege and csgo
cursive shoal
no they don't.. hopefully they develop in time
tardy pond
There's also aim trainer on steam its free to play and very usefull imo
They will for sure develop
cursive shoal
Thats good to know, can only get better

Cant really get worse then having bad aim :P

download Aim Lab from steam it will help you alot it did me cuz i am a xbox gamer and have only been on pc since xmas
cursive shoal
Thats a fair point haha
tardy pond
What sensitivity do you run
@ionic lava what i just suggested aswell :P
Oh i said aim trainer

i seen that after i sent it lol

I meant aim labs

.29 and .49 aim

my aim is shit to but only when i am doing full sprays
have no clue idk much bout pcs still

4k, i haven't been good at arm movement so i set it a little high

@ionic lava 1500 hours in siege and 800 in csgo helps me alot :P

I would try get it sub 1000

@rotund sand 800 dpi isnt too bad haha i would love to be able to have it on 400-500

Has little bit of everything and isnt too hard to learn

I heard haha, have a 1/4 of the map down so far I think

well I use a mouse for like 16h per day, so 800 dpi isn't very comfortable to move with
gloomy heart
what dpi do you use?
tardy pond
Im used to it i guess
rotund sand
1400
tardy pond
Yeah i would love that, and im sure i could slowly get there from my 800 but cant be arsed
rotund sand
still can't check both sides despite having 1400 dpi
gloomy heart
aha i used to be 800 dpi but then i got a massive mousemat so i just use 400 and use all of the mat
tardy pond
Yeah fair
I dont move my arm, im a wrist player so i need the higher dpi to not get rsi😂
ionic lava
it means they move thier mouse with their arm instead of their wrist
rotund sand
I guess I'm not using my arm, then
tardy pond
What jaemad said is what moving your arm to aim means :P
If you do that with high dpi you basically can't aim
Because your wrist is alot more precise
rotund sand
just using my wrist so that the cursor flies around
